Rubin, the law states we have
to take our new evidence back
to the original trial judge...

:46:16
- and then if he turns us down,
we go to the state appeals court--
- No. No, no, no, no!

:46:20
Listen to me. These people
aren't gonna just let that happen.

:46:25
They've made their careers
on my case.

:46:27
- What are you talking about, Rubin?
- I'm talking about lawyers,
prosecutors, judges...

:46:30
who have moved up the ladder
on my black back.

:46:36
We don't even know what enemies
we have out there in this state.

:46:38
We gotta take it out of New Jersey, and
we gotta take it to the federal court.

:46:42
Rubin, ifyou go
into federal court...

:46:44
with new evidence that hasn't been
heard in the state court...

:46:47
thejudge is gonna throw
it out, okay?

:46:50
- That is the law.
- Then we transcend the law.

:46:52
We, we, we get back to humanity.
:46:55
You said it yourself.
You said ifwe take the new evidence...

:46:58
before the federal judge,
he's gotta look at it
before he throws it out, right?

:47:01
- Right.
- I believe that once he looks at it,
he will have seen the truth.

:47:05
Having seen the truth,
he can't turn his back on me.

:47:09
And what ifyou're wrong
and he does turn away? Then what?

:47:13
Then you throw out all this evidence
that everyone's fought so hard to get.

:47:16
And you know what, Rubin?
You will never be able to mention it
in a court of law again.

:47:20
It is finished. It's erased.
It's as if it never happened.

:47:25
This evidence is the key
to getting you out of here,
and you'll be throwing it away, Rubin...

:47:29
- when in a few more years--
- I don't have a few more years, Myron!

:47:34
- Leon, help me out.
- I can't.

:47:36
I agree with Rubin.
It's time to move on.

:47:39
- Move on? What do you mean,
move on? Move on where?
- The state's biased, Myron.

:47:42
We're never gonna get anything there.
We have to go federal.

:47:44
- We can't take the risk
of going federal with this.
- Listen to me. Listen to me!

:47:54
I'm 50 years old.
